(It's new! Take it back to your KK dealer and let them help you figure it out.)
Update: I first contacted the place where I purchased the cutter, tractor supply corp., but was advised that they do not handle any warranty work for King Kutter, and I should contact KK directly.
I contacted KK, and I am happy to report that I could not be more pleased with the service that I received from King Kutter. After speaking with King Kutter, they sent me a new hub and blade assembly, I was also informed that the new part was an upgrade to the old design. The old part appears to be a stamped steel hub, bolts attach the blades to the hub, and then nuts are welded to the bolts. The new design hub appears to be machined steel, bolts still attach the blades to the hub, however, the nuts are now castle nuts with cotter pins to faciltate blade changes. The only hitch was I had to return the old unit to TSC for shipping to King Kutter.
Installation was fairly simple, I first stood the cutter up on its end, removed cotter pin and nut from the cutting shaft, and pryed the blade assembly off of the shaft, reversed the proceedure. The cutter now operates pretty smooth with very little vibration.
